During a walk from Oak Street Beach and the lake shore to Grant Park in Chicago recently I came across Lake Shore Park on E. Chicago Avenue. I gravitated to the park bench in front of me to soak in a little of Chi-town. The park, a baseball diamond and a staple of the skyline, John Hancock Center, all straight ahead!

That lighting! Just love the coffee shop vibes at @flatlandscoffee in Bowling Green, Ohio. Was so glad to finally get back recently. - I took in the clean, modern look to a coffee or two or three โโโ, also securing some Mexican beans. Loved chatting with the barista, boy do they know their coffee. So passionate about brew and also the local community. Great to see. - If ever in Northwest Ohio or just passing through on I-75, it's definitely worth a look for coffee lovers.โ๐โค๐ Ohio coffee cheers! - #bowlinggreenohio #coffeeshop #coffeeshopvibes #coffeeshoplife #coffeelife #coffeephotography #sprudge #perfectdailygrind #coffeeporn #coffeestyle #coffeeculture #toledoohio #ohiocoffee #ohiofindithere #igers_toledo #nwohio #ohiophotography #ohioexplored #myohioadventure #letsroamohio #theohiocollective #wanderlust #midwestmoment #lonelyplanet #livetravelchannel #liveyourbestlife #liveyouradventure #craftcoffee #coffeenerdFall colors and summer green mixed in with the snow.

I used to play softball in Grant Park. Great place to have fun and watch night descend on the amazing skyline.
My camera is always out when wandering Grant Park day-or-night, so much of Chicago to capture. ๐ What a great spot for a game!
Very cool shot! How come I’ve missed this spot?
Hope your Chi-town wanderings take you there.What great scenery to soak in the fresh air too!
I was in Chicago too the 26th-28th! Thanks for hitting me up!!!
Gotta love Chi-town!!! ๐
Great stuff! Did you know that hancock Observatory had changed their website to http://www.360chicago.com? Kindly adjust it for better direction.
It’s a great place and glass floor was my favorite.
That’s right. Was just up-top that building a couple of weeks ago checking out the Tilit! Good stuff. ๐ Thanks for the tip!
